Forgot to add Riardon's bonus into the original roll, but it is shown here.

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

Jin’s attack at the top of the stairs, manages to skewer a stone & maple butcher-block table that’s been moved in front of the door, shutting it securely. Returning to the bottom of the stairs, Jin remembers the cellar door on the far side of the basement, which is securely closed and barred (though from the inside). As he scans around for traps, he sees that the trap is not mechanical in nature.

Two goons are hiding behind the beer tuns, and a bowman steps out from behind a wine rack.

“It’s a trap!” The alert comes as soon as the discovery, but only Talon and Riardon are poised to react.[sblock= Stealth Rolls]I will reveal stealth rolls after all the NPCs are revealed Suffice to say that these fellows rolled below Jin’s 22[/sblock][sblock=Initiative]
Riardon 20

So Riardon and Talon go. Then the bad guys. Then good guys (Talon and Riardon included).[/sblock][sblock=Terrain

• Squares J6-L8 are a pile of crated and bagged foodstuffs and is difficult terrain
• Traversing or Starting your turn in squares K6-K8 requires a DC 15 athletics check
• Failure means falling prone in your choice of an adjacent square not in K6-K8.
• Squares G7-I7 are a stack of barrels. They are impassible and block line of sight/effect
• Squares G9-I9 are a stack of barrels. They are impassible and block line of sight/effect
• Wine Racks block line of sight/effect and cannot be traversed, though they do not take up space per se
• Wine Racks can be toppled with a DC10 strength check after which traversing them takes 2 squares of movement and they no longer block line of sight. If a creature is adjacent to a wine rack when it topples toward them, they make a strength check. If they roll higher than the person who toppled the rack, the rack does not fall. If they roll lower, the rack deals them 1d4 damage.
• The cellar stairs (ether to the cask door or the kitchen door) are difficult terrain
• Casks block line of sight and effect
• A creature can jump onto the table with two squares of movement
• The shelf behaves like the wine racks.
• Squares with pitchers and stools are difficult terrain

Riardon

"Spread out! Jin with me in melee, binding the archer. The others engage the melee thugs. Go!" Riardon commands. A quick incantation hits the melee attackers with numbing cold as Riardon moves toward the archer, sword and shield ready.

[Phoenix8008]

[sblock=OOC]Sorry. [/sblock]Talon moves forward following Riardon's directions and heading north toward the two ambushers. Making sure to leave room for others to move in and attack, he lashes out hard with his longspear at his quarry, the nearest ambusher. The strike misses badly though, frustrating Talon.

[H.M.Gimlord]

At the sight of Dayna and Talon rounding the kegs, the thugs realize they've been discovered. Temporarily dumbfounded, the two resort to verbalizing heir thoughts,



"Outa here?"


"Yeah. Outa here?"



Realizing that the chilling cloud conjured by Riardon puts them at a disadvantage, they retreat to bar the party's escape through the cellar doors.


As Riardon rounds the pile of produce, a surprise is there to meet him. "You need to be more careful." An as yet undetected thug has been hiding behind the stack of grains and veggies, and takes advantage of his position to cut the warlord deep and retreat behind the wine rack.


The archer moves to the other end of the wine rack and fires at Fenwick attempting to pin him down and allow the knife fighter more time with Riardon. Another archer also appears form the far end of the cellar and attempts the same.



Rujah sees archers emerge and rushes forward striking a good opening blow in the closest one, hoping that he can distract the sniper long enough to give Fenwick time to move. Suddenly, he realizes that four of their enemies are close by and decides to soak the area in a geyser of acid that burns into both archers. The thugs by the door, however manage to avoid the spray.


Firebyrne, seeing that his new comrades are in trouble charges forward to help the isolated warlord by distracting the knife fighter.

[sblock=OOC]Man, this fight looks tough.

PS, I think this is going to be hard for you to believe, but Jin missed.[/sblock]Jin moved quickly along the far wall, swords ready to meet any other surprise visitors. Reaching the end of the room, he spotted the far archer. Moving up next to the archer, Jin stabbed with his off-hand; however, the blade only found air as the enemy twisted out of the way.

"You've made a grave error. Retreat while you can, before you end up like the scum who proceeded you."

[sblock=OOC]Yes it's going to be a tough one. Teamwork!

BTW: Even though you missed, your posturing is good. By engaging the archer in melee, you gain the advantages of an archer who must either:

• Shift every turn
• Take an OA
• or use a less deadly weapon (club)

"Fenwick now very irritated!" Fenwick yells as the arrows strike. Seeing no direct path to them, he follows Jin around the side.
